View:
IndusInd Bank's performance in Q2FY25 was disappointing, with net profit falling 40% YoY, significantly missing street expectations. The decline in profit was primarily due to rising operating expenses, including higher finance costs, which outpaced the bank’s income growth. Additionally, the bank's NIM deteriorated during the quarter. In terms of asset quality, both GNPA and NNPA saw deterioration and ROA also declined, though management attributed this to transitory factors. However, the bank remains optimistic about the second half of the fiscal year, anticipating growth in its microfinance and vehicle finance portfolios, which will ultimately improve the asset quality. On a positive note, the bank reported notable growth in advances and deposits, with deposit growth driven by a strategic focus on key market segments. Going forward, key factors to monitor will include improvements in asset quality, control over slippages, and a recovery in NIM. The bank's management will need to outline a clear strategy to address these challenges and drive future performance.
